These are the 50's jeans from TCB Jeans.They are created by researching vintage jeans owned by TCB Jeans.The 50's jeans are based on jeans from the 1950s.
This is a TCB standard model created with the goal of reproducing the Levi's 501 XX with the paper patch from the 1950s.The silhouette is traced from vintage pieces owned by TCB, and the sewing thread counts and colors were meticulously identified and recreated for every single location.The silhouette features a deep rise and a relaxed fit with a slight taper toward the hem.
The fabric used is approximately 13.5oz Zimbabwe cotton.The unevenness (slub) is not the forced, computer-generated style prevalent today, but is created by adjusting traditional spinning machines.The "atari" (fading) is characterized by thick, short vertical drops; when these naturally connect into lines, you can expect to see the ultimate "tate-ochi" (vertical fading).
The paper patches are all processed by hand.The design intent is for the paper to tear just as the base color fades, revealing the darker fabric from underneath.In the era referred to as vintage, the pocket bags (sleek) were often sewn roughly; TCB jeans 50's reproduces this to an extent that does not compromise durability.
The sewing utilizes 4 different thread colors and 5 different thread counts.These jeans offer many highlights, such as varying stitch widths depending on the location and the adjustment or modification of sewing machines.The area below the waistband is sewn with a chain stitch all the way to the end of the band without backstitching (ground sewing).The thread tails (kara-kan) are intentionally left out rather than tucked in.— Excerpt from TCB jeans catalog
The material is Zimbabwe cotton.Zimbabwe cotton is a world-class premium variety, a designer cotton used in Europe even for dress shirts.Because it is harvested by hand without the use of machinery, it is virtually pesticide-free.It is a cotton characterized by minimal damage or impurities during harvest, excellent whiteness, high fiber uniformity, luster, and a soft feel.Using this Zimbabwe cotton, the yarn and fabric are produced on traditional spinning machines.This denim fabric is made with a commitment starting from the raw materials.
* The front features a button fly.* Features V-stitch construction. The V-stitch refers to the diagonal stitching extending from the front button. This detail originated because sewing machines until around the 1960s were unable to perform backstitching.* The belt loops are set to be slightly thick. Great care has been taken even in the small details to ensure beautiful fading.* The buttons are "TWO CAT BRAND" buttons, molded from vintage originals. They are made of iron with a concave center. As they are iron, they will age over time. Due to the nature of the product, some slight aging may be present from the start.* The coin pocket opening uses the fabric selvedge, following vintage construction.* The rivets are made of copper. They are durable and allow you to enjoy the aging process.* The back pockets have no decorative stitching.* These are finished as basic jeans packed with TCB Jeans' knowledge and techniques in patterning and sewing.
The vintage 501XX that served as the base originally used leather patches, but these were changed to paper patches starting in the mid-1950s. This change occurred because dryers became common in American households, causing the leather parts to lose their shape. These jeans reproduce the paper patch of that era.
Includes hidden rivets. Hidden rivets are a "good old days" detail added for reinforcement. This specification was used until around 1966.
